night-out..

a bunch of kids studying on the terrace.

reminds me of the days when we used to study late nights.. burning the midnight candle.. literally

Vizag 4 u.. President's Fleet Review

the huge crowd that turned out at the beach

people everywhere

one of the large ships on display

this was a demonstration of a bomber (i suppose) destoying an enemy ship.. the smoke had a nice halo at the top

the only ship that was visible clearly :(

another boat speeding by

a helicopter carrying commandos

flying right above us

commandos on boat and a submarine in the background

a ship and a sub

a tricoloured kite.. flying high

there were people perched on all the buildings around

that's the famous hill.. referred to as the "dolphin's nose"

the crowd.. some enjoing a dip

ships decorated with lights along their contour

close-up

few men watching the fireworks
its good to see people coming out with the Indian flag for such occasions

it was a full moon day

Location: RK Beach, Vizag
Occasion: Celebration of President's Fleet Review 2006 (website - http://www.pfr2006.nic.in/) at the Eastern Naval Command

PS: There was lot of firework in the night including a missile launch and rockets fired from the ships simultaneously, but I couldn't capture those and thought it wise to enjoy the sight than trying to capture something out of it. You can check out some nice pictures and the news from the articles at The Hindu and centralchronicle.com

3D curves

liked the way the road bends, rises and then disappears among the trees..

Location: NH-5, outskirts of Vizag - leading towards Vizianagaram.
